Scrapbooks/Life books

I am in Ontario Canada, and I do not work in a facility. I run a community based activity program for frail elderly who are still living independently. I am coming to fiscal year end and submitting proposals for items on my wish list if there is money left that needs to be spent by year end.

 

I would like to purchase a sample scrapbook or life book where I can photocopy pages from the master and devote time for clients to work on memory/life books. I wonder if anyone has any good suggestions of master copies that are available for sale.

 

I found one website: http://www.thetimeofmylifebook.com/page/page/4051186.htm but it doesnt actually show very much of the actual product. Has anyone used this or does anyone have suggestions for a good sample scrapbook for seniors?

 

I know I could probably design my own pages, but I think that would take a lot of my time. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

The place where I would start is Hobby Lobby, Target or other Scrapbooking store. They have lots of pages for sale that are complete packets to make one or two scrapbook pages-- they include stickers, layouts, tags, ribbons, die cuts and everything else. You can take these and photocopy them (if you have a color copier) to pass out to everyone. About $9.00 each page.

Target (I saw this last night) has a book (index card size) of journaling prompting questions for you to write in. There are several topics and several copies of each one-- so no copying needed! One of them that I remember was: What I wanted to be when I grew up:

Also another idea is to purchase already made scrapbooks-- all you do is add pictures and journaling. They are about $15-$30-- depending on what you want. Just buy lots of the same one and you have it already finished! Plus, they turn out great!!!!

You can always add more stuff, embellishments, journaling, pages or whatever to make it more unique or time consuming. But it is the cheapest and easiest way to go!
